Alcohol plus steroid injection for palm sweating
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nerve block (injection near the neck) to treat severe palm sweating. It tests whether adding alcohol to the steroid injection works better than just the steroid alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 45 years old.
- You must have excessive sweating on your palms (also called palmar hyperhidrosis) that is not due to another condition.
- The sweating must have failed to improve with topical treatments like aluminum chloride.
- You must not have allergies to alcohol or local anesthetics.
- You must be able to cooperate during the procedure.

This trial compares two locations for a nerve-cutting surgery to treat severe hand or underarm sweating. The goal is to see which approach has a lower chance of causing new sweating on other body parts after surgery.
This trial tests a new polymer film device to reduce excessive sweating on the palms. It may be a good option if you have had sweaty palms for at least 6 months and haven't tried other prescription treatments recently.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): a steroid injection alone versus a steroid injection plus a nerve block. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief for people who have not improved after two weeks of conservative care.
This study tests if a steroid injection helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome who also have a split median nerve (called bifid median nerve). It compares them to people without the split nerve to see if the treatment works differently.
This trial tests three types of injections (steroid, ozone, or sugar water) to see which best relieves hand numbness and pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
